The last 7 years of agencies lowballing and padding their agencies with cheap, inexperienced creatives has come back to bite them.

Clients want more knowledgeable, experienced creatives working on their business. Who knew?

God I really wish I had done that. I came out a week before lockdown and I did night classes. It’s been so brutal. Did freelance until recently, then took FT at a small, not so great shop.

It was a mental health decision honestly. Still hunting like crazy for something better.

My friends from those schools didn’t have to go long before They found work. I couldn’t get an interview for 6 months

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle?

I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
